Proctor means that they both have put their own individual reputations before the truth of what has happened. Mary Warren has just turned on Proctor in order that she herself might live........ both Danforth and Proctor have sacrificed themselves for the wrong reason. The infamous Mccarthy witch hunt followed the same motif: people sacrificing the truth for their personal gain. They sent innocent people to prison to protect their own reputations.
